What Song Should I Sing For The WFMU Marathon Finale!?
« on: February 06, 2008, 04:51:28 PM »
Hello all -

As you may or may not know, the WFMU marathon is coming up - we'll get into that soon enough.

But the issue right now is that I will be singing a song with the rest of the WFMU DJs during the finale on the final day of the marathon. And I don't know what song to do! I could use some suggestions, but I have to have them figured out NOW. Like tomorrow now.

I like to do big rock numbers. Past performances include songs like:

Born To Run
A Quick One (While He's Away)
Paradise By the Dashboard Light
Paradise City
Magic Carpet Ride

You hopefully get the idear. Big numbers with lots of singing - I'm not there to shake a tambourine around while the band jams out.

Please post your suggestions up here and I appreciate it!

Thanks!

Tom.

So I guess "Porcupine Pie" and "Cowboy Star" are out, then...

The Sweet are ridiculous. I'd vote for "Little Willy" as well.

Also, at the mention of Meatloaf-- I think anything off his amazing album "Bat Out of Hell" is a green light. E
Except for that weird "would you offer your throat to the wolf" poem that starts it out.

But from then on, it's pure greatness.

For some reason I can't express, the first song that came to me was Bob Seger's "Night Moves".

I'll think on it some more!

Stick with Springsteen and belt out some Thunder Road.

One thing - no repeats of past artists and no slow songs!

Thanks!

I, too, can hear you doing "Night Moves," for some reason. 

In honor of the year, how about "California über Alles"?  I know a Californian isn't in the running, but still . . .

My second thought: Paul McCartney's "Band on the Run"!

EDIT: I'm listening to this in the iTunes right now. Tom could rock the fuck out of this song if he sang it. Pardon my french.
